If nobody reads the documentation, that's an indication of success, not failure.

It means you've done a good job with the product and people don't need help to use it.

I find this prevalent attitude actually harmful. It is kinda weird thing to think that the tools we use should not need any learning or training, that anyone should just be able to pick them up and be productive.

Of course I understand it is reflective of the current situation where naturally it is not worth seeking expertise when software gets at minumum a redesign every six months if not thrown out completely. But I'd really question is that actually good situation to be in?

Yes, but don't confuse cause and effect.

That is one of the explanations but you should not dismiss the others.
